Did you know that buses are one of the safest ways to travel? It’s been said that being in a bus accident is almost as rare as being struck by lightning. Nevertheless, bus accidents do occur, and while there may be fewer injuries and deaths due to a bus accident, they are typically caused by the same reasons as other vehicular accidents: distracted driving or negligence.

Figuring out who is liable for your injuries is what makes a bus accident case quite challenging and unique to deal with. What you need is an experienced bus accident lawyer to help you seek just compensation for your injuries and losses. There are more people to point fingers at in a bus accident case, so our job, as Advocates, is to make sure we’re building you a strong personal injury claim against the right person.

Bus Accident Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our bus accident attorneys can answer about your bus accident:

Who will pay my medical bills?

How do I get my car fixed?

Where do I go for medical treatment?

What documents do I need to save?

How long will this process take?

Do I even have a case?

Who could I have a case against?

What should I do next?

You may also be asking yourself how you’re going to file a claim for your injuries. Let’s say you’ve been injured in a bus accident and it was the bus driver’s fault. You will more than likely have to file your personal injury claim against the government-operated entity, which won’t be easy. Thankfully, a bus accident lawyer with The Advocates can help you.

Filing a claim against a big government operation means you’ll be fighting against their wealthy lawyers paid to primarily focus on their company’s needs and not your medical bills. The bus accident attorneys with The Advocates are skilled in navigating bus accident victims just like you through the complex, time sensitive laws that inevitably come with filing a claim after an accident.

Utah Transit Laws

A bus, or any other form of paid transportation—taxis, shuttles, or trains—accept fees in exchange for transportation. Because they collect fees, they are required to have certain licensing and training to operate the vehicles. Transit and bus drivers are held to a higher standard of safety, and failing to meet those standards can lead to accidents where fault can be assigned to the driver, or to the entity that provided the training, or maybe the people who maintain the vehicles.

As you can tell, there are many facets to being in a bus or transit accident. It’s easy to get tangled in a web of unfamiliar legal territory!

In Utah, there is a Statute of Limitations for accident claims. Typically this is four years from the date of a bodily injury accident, and three years for a property damage claim. But when it comes to bus or mass transit accidents, the Statute of Limitations is different—actually, it’s different for each particular entity of government. Don’t worry though, The Advocates will make sure that your claim is filed and your settlement is in before that time runs out!
